Re: Automatically create an InlineForm object inside an admin page

I hope someone has come across this problem before because it's driving me nuts.  Basically I have a model, Partner and it has a PartnerAdmin page.  Inside the partner I have another model called Data that is an Inline to the Partner.  I used the model.ForeignKey in the Data to reference it back to the Partner instance.  What I want to do is everytime I create a new Partner and click to save it to automatically create one Data object (sort of a requirement) for all new partners.  It currently looks like this:

PartnerAdmin:

 #stuff

 inlines = ['DataInline',]

Data:

 name= model.Char

 #more stuff

DataInline(admin.TabularInline):

   extra = 0

   form = DataForm

   formset = DataFormSet

I have tried using the initial data and trying to bind a form from it but it won't work.  Please any help would be appreciated.

Maybe implementing the save_model method at PartnerAdmin can do the trick.

Here is the doc :

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.save_model

You should use the change parameter to check if it's a new object or not.
